511: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
512: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
513: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

515: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
516:
1.1 deraadt 517: <p>
518: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
519: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
520: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
521: <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
522:
523: <p>
524: Use <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyB44.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
525: support, or <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyC44.fs</i> for better laptop support.
526:
527: <p>
528: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
529: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
530: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
531:
532: <p>
533: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
534: read INSTALL.i386.
535:
536: <p>
537: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
538: at <i>CD1:4.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
539: use the
1.64 bentley 540: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 541: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.64 bentley 542: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 543: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

558: <p>
559: The 4.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
560: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
561: your BIOS options first.
562: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
563: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.4/amd64/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy, then
564: boot from the floppy drive.
565:
566: <p>
567: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
568: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
569: INSTALL.amd64 document.
570:
571: <p>
572: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

593: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
594: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.

599:
600: <p>
601: You can also write <i>CD3:4.4/sparc64/miniroot44.fs</i> to the swap partition on

787: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

1.1 deraadt 789: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
790: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
791: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
792: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
793: like:

1.1 deraadt 797: <p>
798: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
799: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
800: server.]
801: <p>
1.66 deraadt 802: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1.1 deraadt 803: packages for the 4.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
804: <p>
805: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1.66 deraadt 806: would like to know more, the mailing list
807: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
